A STRANGE SUBSTITUTE. A pror woman, whose husband was very ill, was instructed by the doctor to give the patient champagne and oysters every three hours. On his next visit, the doctor asked if his advice had been followed, when the woman stated that she had not been able to find money for champagne and oysters, but she had given her husband plenty of ginger beer and cockles ! Ths poverty of the woman makes this story pathetic, but how many people ther* are who have not the same excuse, who put up with substitutes, either becaus* I tin y are cheap or from some other inade quate reason. For instance, sufferers from rheumatism, gout, lumbago, neu raitxia, sciatica, backache. blood dis orders, anaemia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, si k-!>eadache. general debility. _ravel, stone and bladder troubles —al th iu.fn they may be well aware that | their suffering is due to the tact that ! iiieir kidneys and liver are acting inelfi I ii--:itly and failing to remove from th* sysreai the uric and bdiary poi.-c-m vv’- ; . h cause the pain—will persist ir ti". in, first one thing and then another whilst it w-»uid be so easy for them t< pm. i>?-.■> the st;va:n.il-ie aid <■!
